THE Pittsburg LeaJ-r OF Sunday last,
which is a Republican paper OF indie
pendent procIiv!tieS, says
The believers in Omens, signs,
queens weather and such like su2ersti-
tious. will have noted rebuke TO the
Grand Army of the Republic, in the
open war of some of Its members upon
the President. During their convention
in 81. Louis, from which by factional
antagonism he was, though invited,
really excluded, the clouds lowered and
rain poured continuously, running al
most every design ard decoration for
out doors display and glorification.
The very heavens scOwled and looked
black upOu them, but! when the PIes!-
dent did go, the sun shone out glorious
ly, the airs of heaven blew blandly and
delictiOusly, the programs were without
| hitch. Il may also be noted that the
President has made good speeches with
out putting his foot into il. Mrs. CIeve-
land has played the second fiddle most
dIviCely and has won new plaudits and
fresh praises everywhere, and in short
so far they have been marked as the
favorites Of the gods upon whom even
natule smiles, while the Tustles and
FaiIchilds factions went home in the
rain with dampened spirits, wet
feathers, ana cut combs. Truly the
old ladies should investigate the tea
grounds and see what ali this means for
the future"

IT is generally believed that the na-
t!onal color OF Ireland from time ina
memorial was green, but Michael Dav-
lit, the Irish agitator, who knows Irish
history as well as any other man liyIpr.
says that the national color of Ireland
is orange aud not green. In talking in
New York during the early part Of this
week about the position o. the province
of Ulster in the fight for Home Rule
Mr.. DAvltt said Ulster displays the
national color of the country. ItisaDon-
ular fallacy that it is green, and I pre-
snme that this is owing as much TO Tom
Moorre's disregard OF knowled ge of his
country's history in the construction OF
some OF his ballads as TO anything else.
Orange was the national color of Ire
land, and it was rot until about one
hundred and fifty years ago that the
emerald was first waved. - This expla-
nation dispOses also of another popuIar
failacy shared by even Orangemen tnem-
selves, and that Is that the bit Of orange
ribbon they sometimes display is WON
IN honor of the Prince Of Orange, when
IN fact tits only the Irish national color.
The color Of nation that has been in
existence hundreds OF years before the
soldiers of william of Orange fought the
battle OF the Boyne.

times the length OF her hand, or seven and
half times the length OF her foot, or five
times the diameter of her chest from one
arm pit TO the other. The distance from tie
junction OF the thighs to tho ground should
be the same from the former point TO the

ly midway from the junction of the thighs
to the bottom of the heel.
The distance from the elboA 10 the tin of
the middle finger should be the same as

AMONG the decisions Of the Supreme
court at Puts5urg on Monday last was
that os Rommeu VS. Shambacker which
is Of special interest 10 hotel and saloon
keepers. Bommell was "a the saloon

was intoxicated by liquor furnished to
him 10y Shambacker, pinned a paper 20
BommeIl's clothes and set fire 10 il, re
sulting in serious injury - him. Rom
nell sued the saloon keeper foI damages
on the ground that he MAS responsible
for the sattey Of guests who were paving
him for ea:ertaiUment, and particularly
for injuries caused by an other guest,
who at the time was drunk on liquor he
got from the defendant. The lower
court held that the saloon keeper was
not liable and granted a nou-suit. The
supreme Court, in relation 10 the lower
court having directed a non-suit, says :
In this, We think it made mistake
There is no doubt that the defendant,

view of the room outside OF the bar, or
might have seen all that was going on.

TIE fact that the withdrawal Of na-
tional bauk notes from circulation since
July, 1856, has been coun;erbalarced by
the increase in gold coin is cited as an
indication that the danger of money

that even though elevated TO the posi-

small. The severe affection through
which Rev. j. B. Gambrell and

to pass, had a depressing influence
upon the meeting. He and his
noble, Christian wife, aud others,
who were expected to be present
and aid in the deliberations of the
body, were detained on account of
the Jackson tragedy.

Churches we're very encouraging

ly revived and many added to their
uumb Der during the past year.
The Association is composed OF
all tue Baptist Churches in New
Orleans and those along the Gulf
Coast between that city and Mobile.
The Introductory ermo was
preached By Rev. DR.. B. W. Bussey,
OF New Orleans. His subject was
"Christiau Warfare" and was edi.
flying to all who heard him.
The Association adjourned Sat
urday evening to meet with the
Baptist Church at Ocean Springs,
commencing on Thursday before
the fourth Sunday in May. 1888.

The trial Of the accomPlices oil
Hamilton for the killing OF Can
brell, on habeas corpus, is still
going on. A large array of WIT.
neSses have passed examination
without thro Eiug ary very great
hghr on the affair. With some few
exceptions 1t is remarkable how
nearly the eye Witnesses on both
sides have agreed on their testi-
mOny.
The only new deYelopement OF
any consequence is in the testimony
of a negro girl, who claimed to be
on the bridge when the shooting
began, aud ran under 1t from fright.
Both sides claim strength from her
testimony. She claims that Hamil-
TONS carriage ran of the bridge as
the firing began and that three men
got out and fired the second shots,
two or more shooting at once, bat
she can't say who fred the first
shot.
We have read tue testimony
carefully. the examination has been
very thorough and the search for
light on both sides exhausted, aud
we have discovered nothing To
change the opinion We formed in
the outset. In view of the strong
and uuimpeacbable testimony tor
the prosecution, taken in conuec-
ton with the surrounding eireum-
stances, 1t will require something
supernatural now to satisfy
the public mind that young Gam
Jrell was not foully assassiuated.
1t is noticeable that the officials
Dt the Jackson city government
seem to be wonderfully interested
n defending Hamilton. The Mar
sbal excuses his diligence in behalf
Of the defense, by a plea of his
ipprehensioRs of being arrested as
an aceompliee. " hatever may have
his fears it is our irm opin.
on that the sooner the entire rotten
ung is kicked o.: the better it will
be for Jackson.
